About Robin
Robin Ross is a licensed clinical social worker with ten years of practice in Oregon. He focuses on anxiety, stress, relationship problems, and addictions. Parents and individuals often seek him out when they feel overwhelmed or unsure where to turn.
He uses a relationship-centered style in sessions. He helps people name what feels hard, spot unhelpful patterns, and try small changes that can make daily life easier. He emphasizes people’s own strengths and encourages practical steps between meetings.
Background and approach
Robin’s background includes family preservation work and experience with people facing depression, trauma and abuse, and intimacy-related concerns. He has supported those struggling with process addictions such as pornography, exercise, and gambling, as well as substance use issues. He also helps people cope with grief, bipolar challenges, ADHD, and seasonal mood shifts.
He draws on cognitive behavioral approaches to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and he also uses existential ideas to help people find meaning during hard transitions. For relationship work he applies elements of the Gottman Method, and he uses solution-focused techniques when people want short-term, goal-oriented work.
Robin describes himself as non-religious but understands Christian perspectives, including issues common to Latter-day Saints or others questioning faith. Sessions are offered in English and are held online by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging.
How these approaches work in online sessions
Robin often uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice patterns of thought and behavior that feed anxiety or depression. CBT breaks problems into manageable steps and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful thinking and routines.He also integrates the Gottman Method for relationship work, focusing on communication skills, conflict handling, and rebuilding connection through specific exercises couples can practice between sessions. Solution-focused techniques are used when someone wants goal-oriented work that targets small wins and practical change quickly.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works with each person to choose methods that match their goals, concerns, and pace. That conversation guides whether sessions focus more on skills training, meaning and values, or relationship tools.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversation and practicing skills together; phone sessions can fit a break at work or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief check-ins, tracking progress, or getting immediate coaching between appointments. These options offer flexibility to fit therapy into everyday life.
